We were in a car so I do not know if there was any noise associated with the fireball.

Remarks
Tail was short, white and light blue with red on the end. I pointed the meteor out to my fiance maybe five seconds after i first saw it and he says he only saw blue and white. The meteor split and each piece stayed lit for a couple seconds before the light went out.
